A Laughing Matter  by April De Angelis  

Production dates: 11th, 12thand 13th June 2009 

It is 1773 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane …the crowd is getting restless...the leading man is unconscious, but the show must go on.  

This irreverent version of real-life events tells the story of David Garrick, Dr Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith and a new play calls She Stoops to Conquer. Caught between financial pressures and artistic ambition, Garrick must decide if he can risk staging a play which could make or break his career.
